I add the file to the list to be extracted and then type extract. The interface then asks me for the volume number, and, I think huh? I choose 1 and the interface hangs. Is there a restore switch equivalent to the -a switch in dump? Or does anyone have an explanation? h10# restore -v -x h6/h6data.tgz Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 10 Dump date: Mon Nov 5 22:23:04 2001 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /backup1 on h10.lawinfo.com:/dev/da1s1e Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. Make node ./h6 Extract requested files You have not read any tapes yet. Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with the last volume and work towards the first.
